It’s a matter of degree. Many long-standing consumer products are slightly “addictive,” either psychologically or physically. It’s the apex of corrupt consumerism that actual narcotics are pushed unnecessarily for their profitability. Soma was the accepted cultural drug in BRAVE NEW WORLD, pushed by the government to keep order. Eventually “tranks,” a benign composite of marijuana and tranquilizers will be what our governments will find convenient to urge on the populace.
Wait! “Can’t never”? That’s how the locals talk down here in Tennessee. The people who fought hard to make pot really illegal turned this stuff loose and passed it out like candy. And the same investors that gave us “pill mills” on every corner are now are investing in “addiction treatment centers”. Is this a great country or what? And remember that heroine and methadone were both developed by Bayre.
We spend over 30 billion dollars a year in America for unproven alternative medicines. Congress supports this industry, and receives campaign funds from the herbal industry. www.nbcnews.com/health-news/americans-spend-30-billion-year-alternative-medicine-n596976
Orrin Hatch recently berated supporters and users of the ACA as being on the public dole…the flipping hypocrite!www.nytimes.com/2015/02/06/opinion/the-politics-of-fradulent-dietary-supplements.html
These immoral killers have this all ready. They want the right to drag someone out kicking and screaming because an employee needs the remainders of the pills when they oversell. Now that would be power!

Yep! And they’ll go along with the wisdom of medical marijuana, as soon as the government gives them a patent. Which Sessions would find just fine!

BTW: it was Rumsfeld’s old pharmaceutical company that held the patent on “Tamiflu”, explaining why the government was pushing it.

Addiction is the cheat-code to winning in a capitalist culture. Of course they’re not going to care about the devastation they wreak.

It was all those addled addicts in the ‘heartland’ that voted for crazy Trump.
